- Additional information
- Funded by EPSRC (EP/L014041/1) under the DISTINCTIVE Programme (http://distinctiveconsortium.org/), this research presents a comparison between greenhouse gas emissions of Portland cement and other Portland cement-free materials for insulation purposes. The study was tailored to respond to national and regional regulations to improve the thermal efficiency of an existing building. Maddalena presented the research in Nihon University as an invited lecture which led to a JSPS fellowship (c£15,000) at Tohoku University in 2019 (http://www.jsps.org/funding_case_studies/2020/01/dr-riccardo-maddalena-cardiff-university.html). The work has attracted industrial engagement (Mckinsey & company) in the pursuit of low -carbon cements and their commercialisation.
